Bind one button for two events

Post by Eazy »

Hi all!
I have a Tellstick (to turn lights on and off) that I have bind buttons for on my Fractal Design remote. I need to bind two buttons, one for off and one for on. Is it possible to have just one button for two events? Meaning if I press the button and it sends Ctrl+F1, next time I press the same button it sends Ctrl+F2. Is there a way to do this?

Regards Eazy.

Sure, make two macros for what you want to do, put them in a folder, add the button event that you want to use to them both, now disable the second macro, last put a "Enable exclusive:" action to both macros pointing at the other macro, so the first macro points to the second and visa verse.

Now the remote button event should toggle between both of the macros and send whatever else you have put in the macros.

Thanx man!

Was a bit tricky as I'm new to EventGhost. Have been using Linux for ages so I'm not used to windows either, but I finally figured it out :)
